Report: Flamingo in zoo had to be put down after child threw a rock at it

A Miller Park Zoo flamingo was euthanized Monday after an elementary school student threw a rock inside the animal's exhibit.

A representative from the Bloomington, Illinois zoo told CNN affiliate WMBD the rock broke the flamingo's leg and caused injuries that led to it being put down.

The zoo said it's working with the student's family to make sure this is a learning experience, WMBD reported.

The greater flamingo exhibit at the zoo opened in June 2016, according to the city of Bloomington.

    The parents are helping this be a learning experience for little Darnel Washington. He is also banned from the Zoo. Bird was valued at $15,000.00 wonder who's going to pay for it?

    I hope the child depending on the age got community service at the zoo or an animal shelter and the parents to what were they doing when the child was throwing rocks?
